Alt-Right recruitment tactics, what to look for, minor US_rel mention 

I know this is a difficult topic to discuss.

I decided to look into how the Alt-Right recruits people and found this explanation.

As someone who was recruited into a Fundamentalist Evangelical Cult I recognized most of these tactics immediately as variants were used on me.

I would recommend reading this and looking for warning signs in your family, friends, etc. Talk to them before it is too late.

Alt-Right recruitment tactics, what to look for, minor US_rel mention 

These are definitely cult recruitment tactics. I know because I was in a religious cult and at one point was even being trained as a recruiter.

1. Talk to an isolated person who feels left out / unwanted.

2. Invite them over, then love-bomb them.

3. Invite them to everything, become their circle of friends.

4. Start having them distance themselves from their earlier friends and family.

This is Cults 101 stuff here.

Hoping for a world where one day racism, sexism, anti-GLBT, etc. will be as socially unacceptable as spoiling the next big Avengers movie.

Computer security, scams, etc. 

Please tell the less tech-savvy members of your family and friends that Microsoft does not call people. Every day at work we have people calling in saying someone at "Microsoft" called them and said they had a virus, corrupt IP, or some other thing on their computer, they let the "Microsoft" employee on their computer and now their computer is acting funny.

Here's a video showing how these groups operate.

So, the strips seem to do the job well, and seem to be holding on well!

So..out with the pins and the nails!

Oh, I didn't know that the Japanese are in a new era name now!

I didn't know that they were tied to Emperors, either. I guess I have a lot to learn about the culture there.

Well, you have to start somewhere, right?

Though, I get the feeling it's not about strength, but damaging it when removing it. Maybe. I don't know.

Right, onto something more cheerful..to a point.

See, I've been wanting to set up a Raspberry Pi server (I mean, they're cheap enough to be powerful enough to run what I want to run), but to avoid a spagetti mess on my desk, I wanted to mount them, but nailing things?

Ehh, seems a little..primitive, and even a little dangerous?

So I got those 3M strip things, and I'm going to try them. They say not to use them on wallpaper, but..I'm going to try anyway!

When you see a channel that promotes thinking starting to veer off into pseudoscience, it's a sad day.

Been recovering, my health wasn't so great in a mental health sense.

re: USPol, hmm.. 

I'm only going to say this. Mens rea and Actus reus. That's all.

USPol, hmm.. 

So the US is blocking ICC investigators. I wonder why that would be..?

NSFW - Kink Talk 

Something that ties into most of my kinks is Macro. Being so big that you tower over cities, countries, even planets and galaxies! I feel very safe like this, and I feel like I can protect those I love even more. <3

NSFW - Kink talk 

One of the biggest ones for me is inflation. The feeling os slowly becomming bigger, more buoyant, your skin stretching effortless to sizes unknown, feeling less worried about the world as you grow. <3

Well, I guess I can do something like this,

1 like = 1 kink I talk about.
